Editor’s Note: Help is available if you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts or mental health matters. Globally, the International Association for Suicide Prevention and Befrienders Worldwide have contact information for crisis centers around the world. AP —Advocacy groups behind a so-called suicide capsule said Sunday they have suspended the process of taking applications to use it — which numbered over 370 last month — as a criminal investigation into its first use in Switzerland is completed. On the same day as the woman died, Swiss Health Minister Elisabeth Baume-Schneider told parliament that use of the Sarco would not be legal. “Only after the Sarco was used was it learned that Ms. Baume-Schneider had addressed the issue,” the advocacy groups said in the statement Sunday.

☆ Sarco suicide pod: Arrests after American woman dies in Switzerland in controversial machine
  + stars: | 2024-09-24 | by ( Story Reuters | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
Zurich, Switzerland Reuters —Swiss police have arrested several people after a controversial futuristic-looking capsule designed to allow its occupant to commit suicide was used for the first time, authorities said on Tuesday. Police in the northern canton of Schaffhausen bordering Germany said the so-called “Sarco” capsule had been deployed in a wood in the municipality of Merishausen on Monday. Willet was the only other person present when the woman ended her life, the spokesperson said. In a statement issued by The Last Resort, Willet had described the death as “peaceful, fast and dignified.”The Last Resort spokesperson said the woman had passed psychiatric evaluations prior to ending her life. It is the brainchild of Philip Nitschke, an Australian physician famous for his work on assisted suicide since the 1990s.
